Day 22, Inspired by a Song

Hello lovelies... I hope you all had a great weekend. My football winning streak is over. We played like poo, it rained on and off all morning, and now it's super cold and I am freezing.

Bonus though, I got caught up on the challenge and I can see the end!! Today's prompt is inspired by a song, and I love music so this one was tough. I have several playlists on my ipod, and one is just my favorites. I was flipping through them and trying to think of what I could translate into nail art... and stumbled upon this diddy.

The Black Keys are a phenomenal band. I've liked them for a long time, and was super stoked when they recently won a Grammy. Gold on the Ceiling is one of the songs on the aforementioned playlist.

I painted the nail entirely white, using Essie Blanc. I then freehanded the keys on there with black polish. The tip, or the ceiling, I used Nicole by OPI The Next CEO and topped it off with some gold glitter.

Overall, I'm okay with how this turned out. But I do need to purchase a new paintbrush. The one I have is jut not fine enough, so the lines weren't as neat as I wanted them. But I like the concept. Not exactly a literal interpretation of the song, but hopefully ya'll get it.

About Me

I started getting hooked on nail polish back in high school. Then I entered real life and chewed my nails down to stubs. After getting a professional job, I wanted to be presentable and so I got acrylics on to train the bites. Now I'm fully my own nails, and use my creativity to show my personality through nail polish. And because I have to, disclaimer here is that the opinions expressed here are strictly my own and not that of my employer or other companies.
